Soap bag assembly

ABSTRACT

A soap bag assembly for mixing soap with water from a shower head includes a bag that may be positioned around a shower head. The bag is comprised of a fluid permeable material to pass water from the shower head through the bag for bathing. A soap is positioned within the bag. The soap forms a mixture with water from the shower head thereby facilitating the mixture to pass through the bag for bathing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to soap devices and moreparticularly pertains to a new soap device for mixing soap with waterfrom a shower head.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a bag that may be positioned around a shower head.The bag is comprised of a fluid permeable material to pass water fromthe shower head through the bag for bathing. A soap is positioned withinthe bag. The soap forms a mixture with water from the shower headthereby facilitating the mixture to pass through the bag for bathing.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a soap bag assembly according to anembodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a right side cut-away view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a diskbeing removed from a bag.

FIG. 5 is a phantom in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new soap device embodying the principles and concepts of anembodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the referencenumeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the soap bag assembly 10generally comprises a bag 12 that may be positioned around a shower head14. The shower head 14 may be a shower head 14 in a bathing shower orthe like. The bag 12 is comprised of a fluid permeable material. In thisway the bag 12 passes water from the shower head 14 through the bag 12for bathing. The bag 12 has an outer wall 16 and a perimeter edge 18 andthe outer wall 16 is concavely arcuate such that the bag 12 has a bowlshape. The perimeter edge 18 is continuous such that the perimeter edge18 defines an opening 20 into the bag 12. The opening 20 insertablyreceives the shower head 14 having the shower head 14 being positionedwithin the bag 12. The outer wall 16 has an inside surface 22.

An elastic member 24 is coupled to the outer wall 16 of the bag 12 andthe elastic member 24 is aligned with the perimeter edge 18. The elasticmember 24 biases the perimeter edge 18 inwardly toward a center of thebag 12. In this way the elastic member 24 biases the perimeter edge 18to frictionally engage the shower head 14 when the bag 12 is positionedon the shower head 14.

A soap 36 is positioned within the bag 12 and the soap 36 forms amixture with water from the shower head 14. The mixture to passesthrough the bag 12 for bathing and the soap 36 may a viscous bodily soapor the like. The soap 36 rests on the inside surface 22 of the bag 12. Adisk 38 is provided and the disk 38 is removably coupled to the bag 12.The disk 38 has a first surface 40 and the first surface 40 is bonded tothe perimeter edge 18 of the bag 12 such that the disk 38 closes theopening 20. Moreover, the disk 38 may be bonded to the bag 12 with anadhesive or the like.

In use, the disk 38 is removed from the perimeter edge 18 of the bag 12and the bag 12 is positioned around the shower head 14. The water fromthe shower head 14 mixes with the soap 36 in the bag 12 when the showerhead 14 is turned on. In this way a mixture of the soap 36 and the waterpasses through the bag 12 for bathing. The bag 12 is removed from theshower head 14 when the bathing is complete and the bag 12 is discarded.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.

1. A soap bag assembly being configured to be positioned on a showerhead thereby facilitating soap in said assembly to mix with water in theshower head for bathing, said assembly comprising: a bag beingconfigured to be positioned around a shower head, said bag beingcomprised of a fluid permeable material wherein said bag is configuredto pass water from the shower head through said bag for bathing; and asoap being positioned within said bag wherein said soap is configured toform a mixture with water from the shower head thereby facilitating themixture to pass through said bag for bathing.
 2.
